Beaune Premier Cru - Sizies 2016

The name "Sizies" might come from the name of the landowner in the 13th century, Renaud de Sesie, who also owned important tanneries in Beaune and served as Mayor of Beaune around 1218.

"The wine displays a deep-bright ruby red colour. The nose, complex and refined, reveals scents of small Burgundy fruits such as redcurrant and blackcurrant, mingling with delicate hints of undergrowth.
On the palate, the wine is ample and delivers aromas of cherry blended with some spicy notes.
Beautiful harmony and excellent aromatic length".

Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin

Vintage

The 2016 crop was low in quantity but its quality provides a nice surprise.
The mature grapes gave deep ruby-coloured wines displaying notes of black fruit mingled with hints of violet and spices.
The palate is round and generous.
The wines are typical of their terroir.
